Easter Holidays

It's Easter Monday and a national holiday here in the UK. So was Good Friday. A guaranteed 4-day weekend every year. I love it. Although I find it ironic that having come from America (where Christianity rules) that Good Friday and Easter Monday (of all days) aren't recognized holidays. Whereas they are here in the UK - where Christianity is a lot more subdued and just one of many religions being practiced. Makes you wonder. Especially given the fact that America was founded by pilgrims fleeing England in search of Christian freedom. Hmmmm...
